Thanks. But, how do I go from here? should I delete /dev/hda5 and re-do
it? I don't want to use /dev/hda1, I believe my Windows XP is in
/dev/hda1. That is why I use partition magic to partition a 7G-byte from
my C drive. I have only one disk which is 20 G, the free space is 12G,
thus I partition 7G for Linux. Please advice.
